Rodney So'oialo costs All Blacks match vs South Africa

Описание: The All Blacks are on a 15 match winning run and closing in on the world record for most consecutive wins, but during their match in Rustenberg with South Africa their normally reliable and dependable number 8 Rodney So'oialo has a nightmare game costing them the match.

0:00 - Rodney So'oialo costs the All Blacks 3 early points by coming into a ruck from the side.

0:28 - Then So'oialo flung a telegraphed intercept pass straight to Bryan Habana. The conversion was added. So'oialo had now cost the All Blacks 10 points.

0:46 - So'oialo then was judged to have obstructed the Springbok defence as Andrew Hore went over to score, which was needless and could have been prevented had So'oialo binded on properly to Hore. Now 17 points So'oialo has cost the All Blacks.

1:21 - Despite this the All Blacks still retake the lead into the dying minutes, but then So'oialo recklessly charged into the side of the ruck straight in front of the referee and the Springboks got awarded a penalty and André Pretorius then kicked it over to win the match for them 21-20, and So'oialo had cost the All Blacks 20 points.

This loss ended a 15 game winning run, and if So'oialo hadn't had a nightmare in Rustenberg in this game then they would have gone onto break the record international rugby winning streak and would have extended it to 24 wins.
